Elite Gourmet EAF8190DB vs Instant Vortex Plus ClearCook

When I made the wings I didnt have the liners yet so I lined the basket with parchment paper that I had cut out and made holes in. The wings did very well and clean up was a breeze using parchment paper. This fryer seems to be alright for cooking for two people but you will need a much larger one if cooking for an entire family. Still not able to get the menu function to work but it may be that I need to reread the instructions on that portion, putting in your own time and temperature is very easy to do

She says this is a good size for her family of four. She is pleased with its easy to use interface, and of course the crispy tasty food it produces. Great purchase.

I've only tried cooking several things with my new air-fryer. What I've determined so far is that I like how easy it is to clean. The basket non-stick surface works quite well. The display is fairly self-explanatory

Cleanup is so easy because of the nonstick coating on the pan and included grill rack. This unit is a great value. I'd buy it again.

The thermostat also seems to be a lot more accurate than my previous Cuisinart TOA-60. My biggest gripe: the "On/Off" outer button moves around as though it were loose and it can stick along one side so that it gets stuck, and the oven will not come on. You have to "giggle" it -- some times a lot -- in order to get it unstuck to make contact with the underlying button.

I like being able to see the browning without opening the basket and letting out heat. With energy prices going up, it seems an advantage to have the smaller appliance and less cooking time. If there is a downside, I am not a fan of the knob dial. I would much rather have push buttons to adjust temperature and time, but this is just a preference
